MDA received the report of the accident at 5:10 PM. Paramedic Amit Shemesh and EMTs Nati Rotter and Yisrael Menachem Yitzchaki arrived to find the boy unconscious, without a pulse or breathing. They performed resuscitation efforts, but due to the critical nature of his injuries, they were forced to declare him deceased.

Revivo was transporting approximately 30 soldiers when a truck veered into his lane. His quick reaction in swerving the bus saved the soldiers' lives, though some sustained minor injuries. Revivo's widow, Vered, described him as a "hero" who was a devoted father and husband, and recalled that the commander of the soldiers expressed gratitude for Revivo saving his "thirty children."
